Build Your MLM Business Without Trying to Recruit Everyone
| Guest post by: Kevin McNabb |
Article Overview: Build your MLM business like you’re hiring people for a multi-million dollar traditional business position. Would you hire just anybody for the position? Then why would you allow just anyone into your MLM business. You have only so much time to build your MLM business, so use this time effectively by doing your due diligence upfront.

Build Your MLM Business Without Trying to Recruit Everyone
When I began my network marketing/MLM career in 1985, I was told that in
order to build your MLM business fast and effectively, that I should talk to
everyone that is outside a three foot circle of me.
Have you ever heard that being said before? Was it yesterday?
To effectively build your MLM business, you first need to treat it like a
business and only hire the people that are qualified to do the job.
Twelve to fifteen years ago prior to the Internet becoming available to
the home based industry, you wanted to talk to a lot of people because that was
your only source of lead generation.
Now through the effective and responsible use of technology you can build
your MLM business faster than at any other period in the home based industry
history.
By learning how to generate your own online traffic, you take full
control of your businesses destiny and alleviate the necessity to “talk to a
lot to find a few.”
When you have traffic pouring into your business, you can then build your
MLM business using some traditional business interview techniques.
We all have worked in an environment with people we did not like or get
along with, but when you build your MLM business; you only have to work with
the people that choose to work with.
When I am speaking with someone that is interested in joining my business
opportunity, it is because they have been filtered through a sales funnel
process, so that I am only speaking with people that are educated about the
opportunity and have the desire to make it work.
Now to effectively build your MLM business, you will want to “interview”
these people like you are hiring them for a multi-million dollar business
position.
Why?
You only have so much time in your life to build your MLM business, so
take the time upfront to “your” due diligence with each interested individual
so you don’t waste that time later. You are going to invest time with people,
so make sure that the time that you do invest is with the right people.
How I interview people is very similar to the way I did it back in my
traditional business career.
I have designed a detailed profile of the type of person that I would
like to work with, in other words, “the ideal candidate.”
To build your MLM business, you want to take the time and develop “your”
idea of the ideal candidate, so that you have something to measure your
prospects against.
For me, just being interested in my business opportunity is not enough;
it is what allowed us to get to the talking stage.
When I set up a telephone call with a pre-qualified prospect, I let them
know in advance that this will be an interview and that I am looking to work
with a specific type of person.
What this immediately does is it eliminates the “hidden” tire kickers. If
someone is offended or decides not to attend an interview, no problem, I have
just saved a lot of time upfront.
Ultimately, how you build your MLM business is up to you, it is your
business.
To build your MLM business in methodical and deliberate way is more
beneficial to you in the long run, that building it fast and haphazard.

Re: Great start, but no finish
- My advise is FOCUS on your business.
Focusing is the main factor to succeed on business. If you have a great idea, then follow it only, don't look anywhere else. It is especially essential in an online business. Because there are a lot of mind blowing sales letters promising millions dolllars or overnight success, people find it difficult to concentrate on one business and they lose their energy.
Concept is simple.
1- Have a good idea;
2- Build your business on it;
3- Monetize your business;
4- Promote it;
5- Build list of responsive customers;
6- Maintain You Business.
Focusing and not fearing from competition (instead you can learn from competitiors) are main tips of billionaires ,BTW.

- 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read
- this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody.
2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto.
3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book
Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
How do you know if you have a good idea?

Thanks orxan! But how do you know if you truly have a good idea or not? If we ask ourselves, we may be suffering from tunnel vision. On the other hand, friends/family may try to discourage us from pursuing a small business because of their own fears, while others will simply give us an empty "you can do it!" line.
Re: How to do Link Building?
- Be diligent. Build blogs.Pay attention to the contents.
Re: Are Business Owners too Old School to be Sold by a blog
- I think this question needs to be redefined. Is it the the senior demographic that you're posing this question to? There is a wide range of business owners young and old. Some of the older folks can grasp the quick changes occurring on the net and go with the flow, while others have lost interest.
I see blogs as next generation websites... they are superior than websites in so many ways. Sophisticated webmasters are cloaking their blogs to look like websites, so it's hard to discern whether it's even a blog, yet it has all the great functionality of a blog.
Business owners need to embrace the internet regardless of their industry. Currently, I see the ideal combination looking like this: Build a static website, add a navigation link to a 'current news' feature or the like, which is your blog, and get the best of both worlds. Or as I said, build a blog that looks like a website.
Finally - If the Marketing message is well done, then I don't see why it shouldn't be effective regardless of the format.
